this is a tool for today's young players that that will show its usefulness down the road. >>reporter: three years ago france hosted the rugby world cup but it was a missed opportunity. the national side lost its opening game -made the semis by the skin of their teeth before being soundly knocked out. excitement about the sport fizzled out. it also remains too concentrated in the south west of france. the sad fact is most of the people on this beach have never even touched a rugby ballbefore. >>dullin: in french: there are lot of people on the beaches in summer and we have to go and see them in order to grow. we hope they catch the rugby virus here and take it home with them. at least that is what we hope will happen. >>reporter: of course playing with a rugby ball on warm sand is very different from running on to amuddy pitch in the middle of winter. once holiday makers head home organizers of this tour will really discover if they have found a new generation of players or whether this game was just a fun distraction from making sandcastles. >> abirached: that's it for thi
